Director: Lloyd Bacon

Writers: Earl Baldwin; Joseph Schrank

From a play: A Slight Case of Murder by Damon Runyon and Howard Lindsay

Music and Lyrics by: M. K. Jerome; Jack Scholl

Keywords: Crime/Comedy

Bootlegger Remy Marco tries to go legitimate after Prohibition, but not being a drinker himself he never realizes his product is absolute swill, successful only because of strong-arm tactics. Four years on, business is not so good. On the bright side, Remy's daughter is getting married (though to a state trooper), and they head over to their vacation house, but another gang is hiding there and there are some corpses about. Good 1930s comedy, though showing its age.
